Order entered August 19, 2015
In The
Court of Appeals
Fifth District of Texas at Dallas
No. 05-14-01381-CR
WILLIAM SEDRIC AUTREY, Appellant
V.
THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee
On Appeal from the 296th Judicial District Court
Collin County, Texas
Trial Court Cause No. 429-81194-10
ORDER
The Court REINSTATES the appeal.
On July 21, 2015, we ordered the trial court to make findings regarding why appellant’s
brief has not been filed. We ADOPT the findings that: (1) appellant desires to pursue the
appeal; (2) appellant is indigent and represented by court-appointed counsel Stephanie Hudson;
and (3) Ms. Hudson has not been getting notices from the Court because she is not listed as
appellant’s counsel.
We note that although appellant has filed many pro se documents, he is not listed as
representing himself on appeal. Rather, the Court has William Schultz listed as appellant’s
attorney of record because all of the documents before the Court show Mr. Schultz is the
attorney. The clerk’s record does not contain an order appointing Ms. Hudson to represent
appellant nor has Ms. Hudson filed anything in writing to show she is appellant’s attorney.
Accordingly, we ORDER the trial court to prepare and transmit a written order
appointing Stephanie Hudson as appellant’s attorney to this Court within TEN DAYS of the date
of this order.
We DIRECT the Clerk to list Stephanie Hudson as appellant’s attorney of record in
place of William Schultz.
Appellant’s brief is due within THIRTY DAYS of the date of this order.
We DIRECT the Clerk to send copies of this order to the Honorable John Roach, Jr.,
Presiding Judge, 296th Judicial District Court; Andrea Stroh Thompson, Collin County District
Clerk; Stephanie Hudson; and the Collin County District Attorney’s Office.
